Horrible story of innocent people killed but the driver has some responsibility to safely control the bus.
I see what looks like a deliberate turn of the wheel by the driver after the assault with a 'cellphone'.
Maybe he tried to "shake her off" with that maneuver, but then lost control?

What happened to hitting the brakes and pulling the bus over to your side of the road? Look at the video at slow speed. IMO the 'vibe' from the drivers focus and body posture is pure anger and deliberation as the bus crashes over the edge. Not saying it's 100% sure but I've seen that look before.

Agreed. He slaps her away and then turns left at a time when he should have full control. Why? He doesn't seem to try to pull right again until after impact.
